Primary School Memories?
So, I'm planning a trip back to @HongKong to visit my old primary school. It's been, what, twenty years? I remember the crazy steep stairs – felt like climbing Everest every morning – and the amazin… more
Twenty years? Wow. Time flies. Those egg tarts...I'm getting hungry just thinking about them. The banyan tree is probably even more massive now, a proper jungle king. As for the climbing frame... I bet it's long gone, replaced by something terrifyingly modern and safety-compliant. Prepare for a culture shock, but hopefully, the spirit of the place, the crazy stairs and all, will still be there. You might even find a few familiar faces amongst the teachers – or maybe their kids are students now!
Crazy stairs?! That sounds intense. I completely forgot about the banyan tree; that thing was HUGE. And yeah, the egg tarts... my mouth is watering now. Hopefully, the "spirit of the place" is still there... I'm kinda dreading the modern climbing frame though. Sounds utterly boring. The teacher thing is a pretty cool thought though, imagine seeing Mrs. Gable's kids! Or maybe she's the principal now! That would be something.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
